slippery slope? i think curtailing china's access to US networks and data, as well as crippling her tech sector, is a great goal. this is one step along the path, not another foot downhill.

generally speaking when a country is #1 in the world order and another country is hellbent on claiming that spot, the latter is a threat to the former. china has repeatedly pushed us militarily, economically, and diplomatically. we must reg

yep i've certainly seen it all over with rust. shame. glad things are moving along well and thanks for the work on this, i very much hope it becomes a standard in the future.

No, they're platforms for spreading information that place less of an inherent value on the pedigree of the source. This is partially a good thing because opinions and personal experience have a place somewhere in the epistemological h

Wasn't half of the concern with the arrest of Ross Ulbricht figuring when they could get him with his computer unlocked, without time to lock/wipe it? They'd have a pretty hard time proving destruction of evidence if 1. they

Entirely true. China has been storing encrypted data for years specifically preparing for when CRQCs are available [1] and this is a huge concern for basically everyone in the world. There's a solid chance other evil actors have been d

Not necessarily. Depending on how the org's set up, the system may be permissioned to access too much stuff. I think justice systems should lean less on a general warrant - too much of a fishing expedition - and instead focus on subpoe

Denying access to data that could still be specifically subpoenaed isn't destruction of evidence, it's a normal security measure. They still have the warrant to search everything in the office , but not the right to use those com

I don't know the laws of the specific countries, but I was making a statement that I don't think it's morally wrong . I don't personally care if it's legal or not and won't view uber differently based on those

Okay, and? I guess hating on uber is a popular sport. But to be clear, this was cutting off those computers from other uber systems . Systems that were not in those offices. Uber has no obligation to leave them logged in so some jumped-up

It’s actually very easy to import a raw peptide from china or wherever and reconstitute it without this happening. Lots of people do it all the time, and my guess is this is something particularly dumb like using plain water. I agree though
343.
by _bin_ 2y ago
This is insane. Just in case you’re not clear on how insane it is, your average roid monkey knows better than to reconstitute a peptide with something other than bac water. I imagine peptides are a little harder - bad temperature stability

This isn't actually a very good attribution to specifically anthropogenic global warming. But it is a decent one to anthropogenic factors broadly. The metaphor of laying a fire is quite literal here: if global warming increases the num

Except there are people who are extremely good at passive-aggressively dragging their feet specifically such that it's hard to quantify. Metrics are entirely gameable and people know this. In development, this could be the guy who alwa

Sure, I’m not saying trolls don’t try to cover it up. I don’t see any particular issue calling them out for it. That doesn’t mean there aren’t also bad-faith nutcases who can and will cause problems. The internet is a big place and there’s

It’s not blasphemy against the spirit, but it is still blasphemy, It’s both taking Jesus’ name in vain and blaspheming against his design of man. Caring about disrespect of something sacred isn’t holier-than-thou, it’s caring about how peop

I hope you are, in fact, sure to the point of damnation. The stakes are rather high.

It wasn’t considered to be transgressive in the same way. If you said something was damned by God, that was a serious statement but not particularly blasphemous. If you used something sacred casually to express displeasure or frustration, i

I don’t think bitch is an appropriate parallel because I hear women use it in both insulting and friendly senses. And while I think a word being taboo for some but not others is silly, it doesn’t constitute oppression. For instance, I don’t

Because there are insane people who will try to ruin your job and life over it, even if you use it in a factual, rather than personal, context. Yesterday on twitter someone posted reddit screenshots of a ukrainian dude in a thread. He said

Most cuss words are more taboo for women to say than men, and somewhat accepted in male company (bars, locker rooms, cigar bars, etc.) than in mixed. At least that’s how it was, and closer to how it is where I live.

Is this uniformly true? Perhaps in parts of the internet, or perhaps amongst some social groups but not others. I live in a smaller center-right city in the south and they’re not used casually, though with more liberality than our grandpare

The AI shouldn’t really be refusing to do things. If it doesn’t have information it should say “I don’t know anything about that”, but it shouldn’t lie to the user and claim it cannot do something it can when requested to do so. I think you

This is a silly take. There can in fact be a labor shortage and there sometimes is. It's quite possible if everyone started bidding up wages this would still be the case. Witness fast food joints basically doubling their wages over the

by _bin_ 2y ago
We've seen there's some demand for it with gig economy jobs. My guess is it'd be a net improvement, and the fact that our minimum wage is being inflated into irrelevance and wages are still rising suggests that's true.

Instance #9843298 of people not understanding Baumol's Cost Disease. It is economically ridiculous to imply that, as technology advances, un-teched sectors should continue paying people similar real wages. The only thing that will acc

I can accept some level of this, but if a user specifically requests it, a model should generally act as expected. I think certain things are fine to require a specific ask before surfacing or doing, but the model shouldn't tell you &
